I’m out NOQ now since July. Once the awards are out I simply email the PAC how many hours I wish to get paid and from what bank. The PAC responds within a couple hours and it’s taken care of the following week. EZ peazy. No insite needed. Did you only email or insite to use just 6hrs? The minimum is 36 to get credit for the month towards next years vacation/sick. Though this being November you probably already have that maxed out. I’m also confused as to how your Dr led you to believe you’d only be out a few weeks vs a few months. That’s typically a conversation that’s had before surgery not afterwards. That’s a huge difference. If you call the pac they’re very good at telling you what you can and can’t do. I’ve had lots of theoretical questions regarding my potential return to work in January and they’re all answered by the end of the day or they call me. One thing that was stressed is you can’t bid for a flying line if your pay only until you’re actually on flight status. Now getting in touch with Harvey Watt that’s another story. They are way behind due to Covid call outs.
